First of course comes a vet check for bladder/urinary tract issues, then might try that if that's okay with OP to do to him, but if his bladder muscles are weakening, spasming with early aging and he needs to go, he'll be very uncomfortable even if there is no pathology. I occasionally have to go middle of the night, would hate to have to pee in a cage because I'm getting older, lol! And if he's manic about being clean in the house, he'll hold it as long as he can stand it even if he's very uncomfortable and finally must break his and mom's rules and use his bed/crate to pee in the night. Poor dogs. Sometimes your heart just breaks as they get older and things change. A housebroken dog hates going indoors.
